from Life, Dilemmas & Dad Stuff · host Tommy Kende

This week I'm joined by my best mate Steve.We've known each other for 42 years.We sat down in Bali with no real plan, hit record, and ended up talking about life, friendship, getting older and some of the things we were completely wrong about.We chat about:• Why money doesn't solve as many problems as we thought it would• Relationships and the myth of "finding the right person"• The strange realisation that turning 50 doesn't mean you've got life figured out• Why the simple things seem to matter more than ever• Chasing happiness versus experiencing it• What happens when all the big firsts in life are behind you• Friendship, purpose and what really mattersOne thing that kept coming up throughout the conversation was this:No matter how old you get, there doesn't seem to be a magical moment where everything is sorted.Most of us are still figuring it out.Just with a few more wrinkles and a few more stories.A relaxed conversation between two mates who've spent more than four decades watching each other stumble, learn, grow and occasionally get things right.Enjoy.
